Women all over Texas are gearing up to increase their wisdom in
leadership and money management at this year's Texas Conference for
Women!
Held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston
Texas on October 16, the conference will host over 75 renowned speakers
sharing inspirational stories and encouragement for women in
leadership. Plan to go either by yourself, with your daughter, or in a
group- this is an opportunity you will not want to miss!
With more than 300,000 motorcycles and mopeds registered in Texas, and that number growing by the year, you'll be even more likely to see riders on the roads as you drive. Look, look, and then look again when on the roads. Motorcycles don't have the protection of safety belts, air bags, and other cushioning that other vehicles have. TxDot reminds you to always look twice for motorcyclists.
